Move files between desktops when we are using two monitors

Hi,


when I'm using my Mac I can move file between desktop by taking them out the actual desktop. When I try do this when another monitor is connect (and I use both my Mac monitor and the second one) I can't move file between two desktop of one monitor (I can move file from Scrivania 1 on monitor 1 and scrivania X on monitor 2 but I can't move file from scrivania 1 and scrivania 2 on monitor 1)

Try using extended desktop mode instead of mirror display mode. Mirror display also mirrors the display resolution. Extended desktop mode allows you to select the native resolution of the external display and possible resolve your issue(?)
